Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Miami University requires incoming freshmen and sophomores to live on campus for the first two years. The freshman dorms are not horrible, but they are small and usually located in inconvenient places, such as the far ends of campus. The sophomore dorms are for students who are unaffiliated with Greek life (members live in sorority or fraternity housing) and are also inconveniently located. However, they are much nicer inside and are usually equipped with a private bathroom, as well.

For girls in Greek life, the Central Quad dorms are very spacious and nice. The girls are grouped with their sorority in corridors, so not only do they have nice rooms with a convenient location, but they are able to live with their closest friends. The guys in the Greek system are usually allowed to live off campus in their frat houses, unless they have violated the University's behavior policy or have not earned the proper grades.

Housing

The dorms here seem to be just like most dorms anywhere else. Pretty small rooms, but not unbearable. The bathrooms are kept pretty clean thanks to the staff here, so you don't have to worry about filthy bathrooms. There's basements in the dorms and many include pool tables, fooseball, a movie center, and chairs to just lounge around in. Dorms also have quiet study rooms. The cost for housing seems kind of steep here though since you have to live on campus for two years.

Sucky Swing

My freshman year i heard all the hype about Swing Hall and was really excited when I received a good lottery time. i immediately picked up a room in there but was disappointed once I moved in in the fall. The building is a little more than run down and the hallways are very odd. I still don't understand the shower set up and the closets are inconvenient. Along with everything else, the Advisor is really strict since the dorm is so close to uptown. After having lived here, I would recommend another dorm choice in East or Central quad.
